MY FRIEND BEN
A Poem by Billy Gilbreath, Guest Writer
As we journey through this path on earth
Often there is one who walks with us
One who inspires, encourages and models
Encouraging us to enjoy and enrich our mind
To become aware of the beauty around us
Inspires us to delve into the world of words
Knowing the value of positive thinking
Never, can we find a greater earthly model
Always feeling that this model was given
And received from the ULTIMATE model
Passion is a trait which cannot be forgotten
Why his success in teaching? Passion
Why the love of those he taught?
A gift of the ability, given from above.
How can one forget the many examples
Mr. National Honor Society, Man of words
Many will remember, vocabulary development
Passion and love for his family, so dear.
Thank you for walking the path with us
Sharing knowledge and giving direction.
Although that path has completed here
It will be continued in your new home
My friend Ben, Benny, Mr Cason, Mr NHS
Thanks for that walk and road taken.
